GWLA Board funds digitization of Hawai'i's historical water materials

In September 2010, the Greater Western Library Alliance Board approved the Opportunity Fund request submitted by the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa Library for $3,600 to digitize Hawaiʻi historical water materials. The first 33 titles processed via the grant are now available in the Library's eVols digital collection repository: http://evols.library.manoa.hawaii.edu/handle/10524/11858/browse?type=title.
